The Craziest Idea That I Feel Like I’ve EVER Had.

Yup… the title says it all. This screenshot should explain the rest (I know that it’s in German, but the important part is close enough to English, plus we have Google Übersetzer now, hier für Ihre Bequemlichkeit. If you want to go to the English version of the site, link’s in the screenshot). Anyway, due to a rather “fun-filled” Saturday, I’ve been rather out of it, but I won’t say anything else. Still, I was online last night and saw this screenshot, which gave me the idea for trying to build (and possibly run) a Windows 3.1 server! Yeah, I know it’s technically Windows for Workgroups and version 3.11, but it’s close enough. The biggest difference is that WfW 3.11 requires a /386 or better for some of the networking functionality and it also supports TCP/IP (first version that does from within Windows and I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole!)

It’s not really something that would be open-facing to the internet, just something here on my home network that I can screw around with from time to time, although if it ever does get open to the rest of the World Wide Web, then I may decide to post a link here. Again, don’t know when (or even if) it’ll happen, but fingers crossed. As for my ability to go for thirty seconds without mentally checking out right now? Eh, the jury’s still out on that issue. Right now, I’m giving myself a bit of a break from anything that I really have to think about… probably another reason for me to be glad that most of what these blog posts are is just me letting my thoughts ramble away into the computer. Seriously, though, I’ve gotten over the hump of The Golden Record, and the section that I’m at right now is a few “Slice-of-Life” chapters, something that’s hard for me to write on a good day, but it's still coming along. I also haven’t forgotten about Aleks meets Inga, but, while I’m quite a bit jumbled, I do, thankfully, have some downtime and some quiet where I can start do get some cleaning here done, so it’s possible that I could just have words flying onto the page when I get back to it.

Sorry about the shorter post, but like I said, last Saturday, I had so much happen that I was literally drained for a couple of days in a very short span of time. I should be back up to full capacity by next week, though. Until then, I’ll see you around!
